"If Mr. Morrison wants to put his thoughts down about his estranged son in a book together with the rest of the band, I don't see a problem with this."

Good.
Because this coming out *now* is part of a marketing plan for an upcoming book.
Surely veteran forum citizens know the modus operandi of these things, by now.
Hell's bells every moonbat Liberal-Socialist has used & continues to use the same shtick.

FWIW I enjoyed Morrison's stuff for years, maybe longer than you are old, I dunno 'bout that except it's been a long time -- say 1968?
Long time.

Interestingly enough Morrison's keyboardist, Ray Manzarek, following Morrison's suicide did a solo album.
Was Ray's only effort that I knew of.
Anyway one cannot buy a copy of that one album on CD, and I for one would love to own a copy since so much of the Doors' sound came from Ray, vocals aside.

Make sure you ping me to your review of the book, weeg.

I'm sure it'll be available at Amazon.

...real soon. ;^)

I buy "review copies" or close-out editions of most new books from Half Price Books. No sence in paying $24.95 for a book that I can find for $4.95 in under a year (or sometimes in the first month of release).

And I am behind on reading autobiographies. I do have Manzarek's and have read some but not all of it.

Ray Manzarek has done some recording and performance off and on with a poet, Michael McClure, in recent years. He also produced the LA band X in the 1980s.

Ray did a CD with Scott Richardson called Revelation Blues. Check it out here:

It's out of print, so if either of you are interested in getting a copy from me, drop me an off-line e-mail.

Don't ask me how it is though, I've had the disk for like 2 years and am JUST listening to it now. I knew I had it somewhere so I just dug it out!
